I turn the corner off my 2^nd jump. It’s a tight turn. I leg up my horse up, and I feel his muscles tense up, then relax. His strides going 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3. Its big I think it’s a 2’ 9” oxer. Now I’m at stride one, once again I feel his muscles tense up but this time they don’t relax they spring. I go into two point, my hands move up his neck. I hear the wind sing in my ears. There’s this moment where I feel like I’m flying and all too soon its over we land. I look down I’m on the right lead, I smile.                       

“Congrats Amelia!” I hear. I look up surprised “you just jumped 3 feet” I look at Cammie. She’s smiling. I hear people clapping. I reach down and hug the most amazing horse ever, DJ.
